Price :

Gloster's Meteor was Britain's first operational jet fighter, entering service around the same time as the Me-262. However, since the British did not want any Meteor's falling into enemy hands, it was mostly used for chasing V-1s and in Spring of 1945 for ground attack from bases in Belgium. What the outcome of a Meteor vs Me-262 battle would have been is one for conjecture. After the war, the Meteor was improved through successive marks. The F.4 and F.8 being very successful fighters, the NF.11/12/14 being equally successful as night fighters, and the subject of this conversion, the T.7 used as a trainer version. Other than the U.16 drones converted from NF.14's, the longest lasting version was the T.7.
